Chhattisgarh, Nov 5: As the first phase of assembly elections in Chhattisgarh approaches on November 7, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is actively campaigning in the state.
In a recent event, Sarma strongly criticized Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel for his comments against the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
Baghel had previously voiced suspicions about money being transported into the state via special planes ahead of the elections, implicating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the CRPF. He further urged the Election Commission to scrutinize all special plane landings in the state.
Sarma disapproved of Baghel’s accusations, suggesting that he should focus on countering the Naxals, who claimed the lives of Congress leaders in past years, instead of targeting the CRPF.
Sarma criticised Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Bhupesh Baghel, accusing him of targeting the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) instead of Naxalites in the wake of the killing of Congress leaders during the BJP’s tenure.
He questioned Baghel’s motives, pointing out that the CRPF personnel are often from impoverished backgrounds. The two-phase polling in Chhattisgarh is scheduled for November 7 and 17, with vote counting for it and four other states set for December 3.
